Health Visitors: Coronavirus

Question for Department of Health and Social Care

UIN 71425, tabled on 8 November 2021

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the proportion of health visitor contacts that fulfil the May 2021 Public Health England guidance which states that mandated reviews should be face-to-face, delivered by a health visitor, or under their supervision, since that guidance was published.

The information is not available in the format requested. However, NHS Digital has recently published monthly health visitor statistics, including information on the proportion of mandated reviews delivered face to face, which is available at the following link:
